A new journey into homesteading "pic heavy"

Things are looking good over there! Keep taking photos. A year of three from now, look back and you'll see where you started and how things progressed I can picture your place a little already, with those trees bigger and producing fruit… It's going to look great!

I planted plum trees but they died. For the past two summers we have picked wild plums off the fencerows and made jelly. I made enough last summer to last several years. So this year I'll can plum juice. We can either drink it or add to ice tea. A neighbor offered me suckers sprouting from her plum tree roots.

Progress seems so slow, but Sumi is right, when you look back you will be amazed with what you have done.

I'm with you there. Fruit trees are an awesome addition to any homestead, or backyard for that matter. What else are you planning to plant at your place?

 

[Chic Rustler]

Not sure yet. Anything that will make fruit I reckon

Look at those egg!!! I see new layers and freezer roos there. Probably should crank up my incubator because I am swimming in eggs. May just harvest some cluckers.

Trimmed the feed bill today. 7 more roosters in the feezer
